Hi Louis, KD5GM
I have connected my KLM-2m-c22 as per the manual instruction and it is RHCP before the CS3 is energized.
By the way try listening on the 2 meters downlink of VO-52 it is LHCP polarized and switching the CS3 during the pass you must note a very strong difference between RHCP to LHCP been LHCP the strongest signal.

I am using the KLM-2m-c22 (also the 432 model) with the CS-3 relays.
These antennas are mounted in the X pattern and are working very well. The question is: under normal construction, (by the book), of the antennas, are they left hand or right hand polarized before the CS-3 relay is energized?
Thanks in advance for any information.
